    Pushed on the subway track

    I can understand not everyone heroically putting themselves in danger a la Superman in order to save other people (I thinks Macs has a pretty good explanation). I get that. I think what gets me though, is that no one wants to assist a victim afterwards (when possible), and no one seems fazed by...

    Privatize LCBO

    As much as I like the idea of doing away with it, I'd like to see first how he'd plan to make up for lost revenue. A one time sale of the LCBO isn't going to provide a constant source of revenue.

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    Quoted just so that everyone can see them again. :D:happy2: It's too bad that so many women are afraid of lifting weights and putting some grunt into it. These women look A-MAZINGLY hot!

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    I was struggling to pass the physical testing for policing in Ontario (PREP test). Crossfit was the only thing got me through it. My overall cardio improved (with no running, yay!), my leg strength improved, and muscular endurance improved. I'm not saying that I couldn't have gotten these...

    Working out! Fitness! Nutrition!

    Why make fun of anyone? Everyone trains for different goals. CrossFit is definitely not specialization, and is an attempt to be as all-rounded as possible. I've used it in the past to reach some specific fitness goals, and it worked well for me. I've seen many amazingly fit people at the xfit...

    Got Meth?

    I have no issue with generalizations/worst case scenarios when it comes to warning kids about the dangers of drugs. Especially a particularly devastating drug such as meth.

    the way it used to be

    Overly glossy pop music isn't my cup 'o tea either, but I can't fault people for liking what they like. 'In the ear of the beholder', or whatever. Personally, I'm a fan of musical talent and ability. It's always a letdown when I see a band who can't seem to pull it off live. On a side note...

    Got Meth?

    Meth is some nasty business.

    Bye Bye Tommy boy Ford kicked out!!

    Re: BY By Tommy boy Ford kicked out!! I think the best mayor for Toronto would be a centrist or simply a BETTER conservative candidate. I mean, you can have your fiscally responsible agenda without the Ford&Ford circus act. I'm curious as to whether John Tory will make a go of it this time...

    A reminder...

    Ummm....I don't normally advocate "ratting out", but I think I'd make an exception for this a-hole.

    Ontario should make winter tires mandatory.

    I've never put snow tires on my vehicles. I've been driving in snow for over 15 years without any issues. Call me a dumbass, I suppose. While I don't doubt that using snow tires can help reduce the chances of getting into accidents, I have to say that I see quite enough ****** driving in...

    Diet Sodas won't help some people.....

    For real, I'm concerned about them as well. I realize that some people are metabolically built that way, but most of the time I assume that there are health issues involved. If the rest of their appearance looks unkempt then I usually think of dug abuse. I don't think there are many comments...

    Guys like that have body image issues, in the same way as women who are anorexic/bulemic.

    Higher alcohol prices urged to cut abuse

    Speaking from a mountain of personal experience, I'll echo what many here are saying - increasing the price of alcohol will *not* stop the alcoholic from putting alcohol in their body. Practical matters such as affordability/availability mean nothing to the mind of an addict. It's sad, but it's...

    Diet Sodas won't help some people.....

    It's funny you told this story, because it reminds me of a guy I work with. This guy is MORBIDLY obese, like I'm talking 500-ish lbs, no exaggeration. He's also in his early 50's, so he's a walking heart attack just itching to happen. This man can't walk from his car to his seat in the office...

    Oh man, wait until you get to the final scene of the first half of season 5. If THAT doesn't drive anyone crazy having to wait and see what happens, then nothing will! Best show on TV, hands down.

    There's very little magic, elves, wizards, standard fantasy-cliches, etc. It's much more about bloody and violent medieval politics, scheming, sex, etc. It's freaking awesome!
